King bed was comfortable. Huge bathroom. Friendly staff. Loved the restaurant Noisy outside having street side rooms with winery below. Third floor room. We had no trouble but someone handicapped would. Don’t think I read on your web about climbing stairs to 3 rd floor though we had no problem.

Late check-in was very difficult and after traveling by car for 8+ hours , Devi stated to not easily receive respite for having made arrangements long ago!! No mention of weekday late check-in particulars or if they were they weren’t emphasized so that I would have known what to expect!! All other accommodations were lovely, comfortable, convenient!

We had a city view room. There was a bar right underneath us so it was loud until midnight. The hotel was clean. The rooms were very spacious and the staff was very kind. You have to walk to the parking garage and pay daily to park there.

Many things to say about this property. The rooms were great, spacious, well appointed and clean. The access to the property was poor. You couldn't access the property to check in without being buzzed in. The front desk hours (9am-5pm) was problematic. The property and room access cards/keys did not work very well. Over the three days we stayed there, our keys fail over 5 times. In one instance,we couldn't access the property at 10:30pm, with our keys, except for one out of five. Then we couldn't access our room with any key. As there was no one at the front desk, we were forced to call an afterhours number which took 2 calls to reach someone to access another key. Very inconvenient when we wanted to get in our room. Also, the hotel advertised a complimentary breakfast. In face each room got a $10 coupon per day for a local restaurant, which didn't quite amount to a free breakfast. Parking was over 2 blocks away as well.

A great spacious hotel, however area is loud due to the hotel being in the heart of the downtown area. On the flip side, though, the walkability is great being in the heart of downtown.

There was hardly any staff. Room cards and some instructions were in a lockbox outside the entrance. Our key cards did not work to enter our room. Had to wait to get new cards brought to us. Parking was two blocks away from the hotel. The next morning we were asked if we wanted our room cleaned. We said yes, but they never did it. Our room window faced another building about six feet away. What a view! The common areas were nicely done, but the overall experience was poor.

I enjoyed my stay very much. Lovely property with character! As a solo, female traveler, I was uncomfortable parking on the 3rd floor of a ramp 2+ blocks away when I arrived at the hotel after dark. And the parking ramp's elevator isn't in service after 7:00, as I recall. I'm able bodied so was able to take the flights of stairs but it was rather scary. Then I needed to set up an account with Waukesha municipal parking. So - I loved the hotel; the parking was inconvenient & guests assume some risk if they park/need to retrieve their vehicle after dark from the ramp.

The good: beautiful historic building, clean and quiet rooms that are large and comfortable. Neighborhood has a ton of great shopping and dining options. The bad: multiple rooms, but only one postage stamp sized TV, no matter what we set the a/c to, the room was at least 70 degrees, water temp for shower was SO hard to control. No one available after 6pm. The UGLY: Parking is atrocious! Blocks away and requires you to apply for a parking permit. No spots available anywhere near the hotel for unloading or checking in. We won't stay again.
